that was not disclosed at the time. today the institute for the study of war fired o bagy saying in a statement quote contrary to her representations, ms. elizabeth o bagy does not in fact have a phd from georgetown university. we have accordingly terminated her employment effective immediately. even so, the founder of isw defended the content of the op ed as rock solid in an interview with politico today. still, it s all part of this weird world in washington, an echo chamber of paid pseudoexperts, a doctor who is not a doctor writing an op ed, testifying for the rebels without disclosing that she is paid for by a rebel advocacy group. and it all ends up as evidence in a case for attacking. as has been said, why does the dog wag its tail? because the dog is smarter than the tail. if the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog. i want to bring back in our panel, dana, jessica and gloria.
